Stihl FS131R

Highlighted Features:

Made in America: A significant majority of STIHL products available in the United States are proudly manufactured in America using a combination of U.S. and global materials.

Intellicarb Compensating Carburetor: The ingenious IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is engineered to automatically fine-tune the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes clogged or obstructed, maintaining the engine's optimal RPM. IntelliCarb™ harnesses clean-side air from the air filter to control the diaphragm and fuel flow. As the air filter accumulates dirt, limiting airflow to the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adeptly adjusts fuel flow to compensate for reduced air intake. This sets it apart from conventional carburetors that draw air from the "dirty" side of the airbox.

Translucent Fuel Tank: A see-through fuel tank enables operators to conveniently check fuel levels prior to starting work.

Reduced-Emission Engine Technology – Caring for Nature: STIHL's "Caring for Nature" seal signifies the environmental consciousness of its powered products, known for emitting minimal or zero exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as surpassing the exhaust emission standards established by EPA and/or CARB.

Simplified Starting Procedure: A simplified starting sequence saves users time and reduces the risk of flooding the engine during ignition.

Purge Pump Primer: The purge pump primer feature allows users to prime the carburetor with fuel, simplifying the starting process. The design of the purge pump primer prevents over-priming, ensuring the machine is not flooded with excess fuel following ignition, as long as the choke is disengaged once the engine fires up.

Multi-Function Handle: The multi-function handle enables one-handed adjustment of all blower controls, providing straightforward and dependable operation for both right and left-handed users.

Shoulder Strap Carrying System: The use of a shoulder strap or carrying system distributes the weight of the equipment, enhancing operator comfort and maneuverability.

Adjustable Front Handle: The front handle can be adjusted to suit individual comfort preferences.

Tool-Free Handle Adjustment: The central wing nut simplifies handle adjustment without requiring tools. The handle can be rotated by 90° for convenient transportation and space-efficient storage.

Cutting Edges & Blades Selection Chart: A handy guide for selecting the appropriate cutting head or blade for your STIHL trimmer or brushcutter.

Fully Lined Drive Shaft: A fully lined drive shaft ensures smooth operation and reduces vibration.

High Tech Polymer Housing: Housings are constructed using lightweight materials that withstand significant impacts and are corrosion-resistant.

Air Filter Cover: The air filter cover can be easily removed for swift and trouble-free filter cleaning or replacement.

Protected Choke Lever Knob: This protective feature safeguards the choke lever against damage.

Protected Spark Plug: The spark plug is not only safeguarded but also designed for easy replacement.

Straps and Harnesses: These accessories facilitate the distribution of equipment weight from hands to shoulders, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged use of trimmers, brushcutters, and clearing saws.

Protected or Enclosed Control Cables: The design eliminates loose and dangling control cables.
